VOICES OF DIVERSITY
Blank, Renee & Sandra Slipp
Amacom (September 1994)

The "multicultural workplace" is here to stay; in fact, an astonishing 85% of those entering the workforce by the year 2000 will be females, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanics, the disabled and others who have traditionally been subject to stereotyping by managers and front-line supervisors. Based on in-depth interviews with those who have suffered from stereotyping, the authors have crafted a book that candidly discusses specific overt and covert stereotypes instead of talking in vague general terms about "sensitivity" that evade rather than confront the problem. While other books have touched on the subject of multiculturalism in the workplace, this is the first to offer managers and supervisors practical coaching on identifying, confronting and overcoming the ethnic, sexual and cultural stereotypes and misunderstandings—in themselves and others—that sabotage effective team building. Because Blank and Slipp are corporate trainers specializing in multiculturalism, their approach is specific and down-to-earth, making it equally suitable as a text for business school and corporate training programs on diversity.
